Can't play downloaded video
I can't play the downloaded video.
I even tried using download helper to grab the stream... still no luck.
I tried everything, VLC, K-Lite Codec Pack, even Adobe Premiere Elements. Nothing plays the download.
I guess I will try and get through the stream, which seems to play ok, but my connection is too slow and I get lots of breaks.
Usability improvements
This looks very impressive.
One comment - as it does not seem possible to comment on the Media Module FAQ on the media group:
Usability Improvements start very late in your outlined process. This implies that this would be just some polishing or built on top of it.
I would recommend to take care of that much earlier in the process, since media managing is a very user-facing process, and Drupals success in that area needs a totally easy to use interface.
Hopefully Drupal Development will change its practice in the future to see User testing as a more integral part of the process. For hey - you gotta sell your product in the end to the user.
